I find the fast fashion industry's impact on the environment, and exploitation of garment workers extremely concerning. As a Mum of young kids I am keenly aware of the speed that children go through their clothing. I've also been shocked to find out recently that my local charity shop sends 30 bags a week of clothes to ragging, and who knows how much of that ends up in landfill or incineration.
This led me to the idea of making kids jumpers out of old adult clothing. By creating patchwork, colour blocking, mix and match designs, I can use old clothes with little retail value due to stains or damage, but also make use of original features, making it clear where the materials have come from. Each piece is unique by nature. I aim to make my designs fun, gender-neutral, on trend, and low impact on the environment.

Full description
A fun children's sweatshirt that is a unique item, reworked from discarded adult clothing. This handmade pullover features a vintage Reebok Classic logo, but reworked with mis-matching arms and bright white trims. It would make an excellent birthday present for a child whose parents love vintage sportswear brands. Perfect for all seasons as an extra layer in the Winter or an evening pullover in the Summer.
Shop sustainably with this low-impact kidswear, or gift it to an environmentally responsible parent who wants unique fun clothing for their kids without funding fast fashion.
The jumper is designed to be an oversized, comfy fit that should last a while. I have given age 5-7 years as a guide but please see measurements below.
I donate £2 from each garment sold to Labour Behind the Label, who campaign for garment worker's rights world wide.
Garment size:
Chest: 80cm
Length from back of neck to hem: 51cm
Length of arm from neck to hem: 54cm
Note: Final photo is to show the fit of my designs, and does not necessarily show this particular jumper.
